Essential Perfumes Ice Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Sidonie Grandperret. Ice Oud opens with Salt, Brown Sugar, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Cognac, Amber, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Essential Perfumes's Ice Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Seriously divisive. Some love this take on amber, others find it too sweet and synthetic. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on amber, musky and vanilla - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet, musky amber profile makes it too intense for the office or sport. It's a strong contender for dates and evening casual events where its modern warmth can shine, but might be a bit too daring for traditional formal wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ice Oud opens with a surprising hit of salty brown sugar and crisp citrus, undercut by a touch of aldehydic fizz. This unusual sweetness quickly settles into a heart of warm amber and smooth cashmere wood, with a boozy hint of cognac and a whisper of spicy cinnamon. The base dries down to a musky vanilla and tonka bean creaminess, grounded by an earthy oakmoss.
